Hey guys,

I am working on my GT and trying to decide how much power i want to shoot for... th issue is, out of all my friends and people i know I have the most powerful car. This makes it kinda hard to know where i want to go as far as power. is 300 enough or do i need more like 400.. or 500... the only reason is because if i think i will be happy with 350-400 i would go with a 4v NA route. anything more then 400 and i will need to go with a blower. i'd rather not spend more money then i have to.

now that the long background is over. my question to you guys, is if there is anyone around the greater triangle area that has some good power to their car would be willing to gimme a ride, and possibly drive (if you feel comfortable), I'd be willing to buy lunch as payment especially if a meeting location is out of your way. Any responces are welcome.

Your cheapest route would be nitrous to see 350-400 at the wheels. Next choice would be a supercharger. It would take way more than just a 4v swap to see 400rwhp n/a.

nah, i was looking into the VT 324 11:1 CR 4v with Cobra R heads and crower 3 cams.. i would get thereNA. i am not having poblems with getting there... thats not going to be the isue... my issue is figuring out how much i want... not having anything to compare my stock power to. once i get that figured out i can go ahead and build my power plant.

id shoot for right around 400-450. very nice power and a very streetable car. those 4v motors love boost. even with a stock 4v motor and a little boost you will love it

If money is no issue I would say go for the max power the bottom end will take. Better to have too much than not enough Get ya some drag radials or you'll be always playing catch up to slower cars due to the tires going up in smoke.

HAH, true enough. if i go boosted i will prolly stay 2v (only because its cheaper) the 4v would be for NA... looking at a VT shortblock and hellion turbo or possibly a KB. biggest question though.. I'm over in johnston county (registered in chatham) think anyone would care at inspections about a turbo (no EO number either) though it would have cats...

If finances allow I would go Kenne Belle all the way. There are plenty of combinations you could do that would give you the hp you are shooting for but the KB with some exhaust, I can promise you will love the power.

I live in Johnston Co. I live in Selma. I have no problem getting my 92 inspected. It was making 490HP to the wheels on 10lbs of boost. I'm niw in the process of switching to N20(150) single stage. Either way you look at it, It is going to be expensive. dollar for dollar the in the end the 4V will be cheaper and yeild better results

I know Randy Haywood could help you out. He's close to the fairgrounds on Raleigh and he's a full install and tuning shop with a dyno. He could probably help plan out what the best thing to do would be.
